A forthcoming study from a team of researchers at Florida International University and Texas A&M collected oysters in three different locations along Florida’s coast and examined levels of PFAS and phthalate esters in the mollusks. The study identified PFAS in at least one oyster collected at each of the three locations, with concentrations ranging from less than 1 ppb to over 100 ppb. The study includes a neat graphic identifying the locations of the samples as well as some potential explanations for the levels of PFAS identified:

We will be sure to stay on the cutting edge for all news concerning PFAS in marine animals.
